A Visual Guide To Dinosaur Exhibit Requirements In Jurassic World: Evolution
ABOUT JURASSIC WORLD: EVOLUTION
It's here, a game 65 million years in the making. Jurassic World: Evolution will let us take control of our own Jurassic Parks in a way never seen before, with a huge range of 42+ dinosaurs including old favourites like the Velociraptor and new monstrous beasts like the Indominus Rex, it's sure to get messy by the end. In this playthrough of Jurassic World Evolution we will complete every mission and 5 star all 5 of The Five Deaths, or just watch as a Spinosaurus eats my guests whole, either or really.
No swearing, family friendly commentary.
For Adventure!

[@Karagianis]

The biggest problem I see with the dinosaur search radius system for environment is that animals that need a large amount of space, like the Brachiosaurus, can be in the biggest exhibit possible, but if they walk into a corner they loose 3/4 of their search area and get upset. Having the dinosaur either detect the entire area within it's fenced area or at least make it so when a dinosaur gets near a fence its search range extends in the opposite direction would stop a lot of issues.

[@DoNotEatStudios]

Karagianis I get so angry when my Brachiosaurus walks into a corner and just stays there until it's comfort dives enough for it to start attacking the fence.

[@jasonfrost7647]

Karagianis my tyrannosaur does the same thing on Isla Pena and it's hella annoying

[@meganfisher831]

Give it no reason to leave the center of the enclosure via putting water and food directly in front of the viewing windows.

[@alpharabbit2353]

Curve out the corners?

[@polonose2706]

Social requirements be like

[@SavageFist]

This is VERY handy.I always made GIGANTIC exhibits for my dinosaurs just so I would not have comfort issues, knowing I can make exhibits THIS small and still fit the exhibit requirements is amazing, can't wait to add in more dinosaurs to my parks with knowing this possibility.

[@NywlMac]

Right? Same here

[@diyapia]

Well this will help me actually complete some challenge mode parks

[@randomguyhere6061]

You could also make an “Mission Exhibit,” a big exhibit to put in the mission dinosaurs and when you complete the missions you can turn into a normal exhibit, for example, I made a mission exhibit on Isla Sorna for the science mission because it gave me Mamenchisaurus, I didn’t do the entertainment or security mission and then Pentaceratops were a pain but I’m getting off track, when I finished the mission I sold the dinosaurs and kept the Triceratops and Kentrosaurus in there and added some Parasaurolophus to it. Do you see the point of a mission exhibit?

[@hypn0298]

I hate the radius thing. If a T. rex walks into a corner it starts getting angry.

[@svetlingeorgiev8484]

HypnoGaming Its dumb but usually aint a problem, after he gets angry he goes to the other part usually and its ok, The indominos on the other hand is a bit of an ass but whatever xD

[@gbnoice7983]

Prince Zuko yeah the indominus breaks out with 100% comfort

[@neutr4l1zer]

Hypno sometimes dinosaurs have max comfort but they test the fences and adventurous break through, electric fences help prevent this

[@wesleyyisme2586]

I’ve never had any problems with the Indom, idk why, he’s never actually tried to escape in my games. Probably because I give it an entire herbivore valley to do whatever in

[@AwildGoonch]

@@wesleyyisme2586 yeah I think if you keep it busy hunting/fighting other dinos plus keeping its comfort high it won't try to escape

[@Sagasol]

Sauropods are a pain to keep happy, so this might be handy

[@FlyingFocs]

Sagasol the only ones I've had a problem with so far (currently on Pena) were the Brachiosaurus, who needed more trees. Diplos are MUCH less needy in comparison

[@fdr45]

Sagasol So far my Brachiosaurus have been an absolute nightmare for me, I gave them an enclosure so big, I got fit every herbivore in it and they still weren't happy.

[@adamdavis1737]

Diploducus is the easiest sauropod to house. They are happy being the only one and don't need much of anything to be happy. Apatosaurus is easy too with requirements but you'll need 4 of them The rest get pickier and pickier Brachiosaurus I can usually manage a bit but Camarasaurus and Memenchesaurus (sp?) are so much more of a PITA. Especially Camarasaurus

[@FlyingFocs]

Adam Davis The relative ease-to-please just solidifies it as my favorite sauropod. I was able to get my Brachi decently happy... By creating enough trees to risk not seeing it.

[@gentlemen.7621]

Sagasol More exact, The Camarasaurus is a PAIN to keep happy

[@fang609]

I have a sauropod exhibit in the entire lower half of the large part in isla Tacano and I have 2 Brachis,4 Diplos and 3 other sauropods in it with a large lake and a pretty large open space in front of the lake but they never complain.

[@rachdarastrix5251]

Remember when they swam the lake in the first movie?

[@ZetsubouGintama]

My sauropod exhibit is also gyro shpere ride.

[@tomrl6674]

You can put a large carnivore in with the sauropods, maybe a t rex. They get along fine, unless there's not enough sauropods to meet their social needs, then they seem to get attacked by the t rex. Just add the t rex last

[@randomguyhere6061]

On Isla Nublar I connected the herbivore and carnivore exhibits with a gyrosphere.

[@thecreature7608]

This will be so useful, espessialy in the future when they add new dinosaurs, and you want to put them all in one park

[@reynaldotaleon3711]

The Creature ehm ehm espessially go to school kid its*especially

[@thecreature7608]

Given that English is my second language, I think one spelling error is fine, but thanks for pointing it out.

[@juhkimobeatsnextgen45]

Reynaldo Taleon rude

[@juhkimobeatsnextgen45]

Scitch2781 why

[@mememan2.074]

yeah why?

[@CokaCola1]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I knew the length limit on the fence sections was meant to be a unit of measurement. I just couldn't find that measurement anywhere. Now I know the enclosures are meant to be an area equivalent to 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4. Thanks for the great video!

[@graco419]

Explaining the dinosaur radius was SO helpful, my dinosaurs would be happy and then walk over somewhere else and go below comfort. THANK YOU for explaining that haha

[@Zambrottos]

Damn. And here I was planning on making a video like this.

[@th3_funk170]

Zambrottos I've seen your videos before

[@help2383]

Big Boy Swoomoo same

[@Zambrottos]

Big Boy Swoomoo Hahaha thanks. It's nothing like BestInSlot's amazing videos but I make do.

[@th3_funk170]

Denosur TM Agreed

[@quiet2365]

Go ahead and do it. I can’t get enough dinos so would watch!

[@DieselWeasel]

This is actually really good to know. I was under the impression that enclosure size DID affect population, and also that they needed HUGE enclosures regardless. Also didn't know about the sauropod trickery or the search radius. I'd seen the bars jump, but didn't know why.

[@wesleyyisme2586]

One time, I had an escaped Brachiosaurus drinking water from over a heavy electric fence. Yes, it stuck it’s neck over the fence into a Baryonx enclosure and drank the water. I have no idea anymore

[@xFrostiee]

Baryonyx : "What in the f***?"

[@Chromee7]

What I think should be in JWE (feature/game mechanics wise). I know what some of u r thinking.Make a video about it, but really, nobody would see it so at least in the comment section I have a higher chance of getting noticed. Anyways. Here we go. 1.) Better Dinosaur Environmental Happiness System - Let's say a sauropod walks into a place where the search radius only find stuff that is doesn't like, like too less forest or something then I think the dinosaur should wander around the exhibit and find the perfect place where it's just right then the AI will learn then it will stay around those areas only. Kind of advanced but hey it should work. 2.) Small Dinosaur Breakouts - Let's say a velociraptor is completely unhappy with it's exhibit. Normally it would just break down a concrete wall but I think the Velociraptor should look around then find a way to escape. Maybe destroy the power boxes (another thing I want in JWE coz space is a problem) or find a way where they can jump over the fence and if they can't find a way they'll just die of discomfort. 3.) Ambush Attacks - We all know that Carnivores can kill hadrosaurs pretty easily without any real struggle in JWE but this kinda doesn't make sense since Hadrosaurs are capable of fighting back. Then there's the ambush system. If let's say the predator is in a complete grassland exhibit and engaged in stalking mode it will have a lower chanceof a successful ambush attack (victim can be any dinosaur) or if let's say apack of velociraptors were stalking a lone ankylosaurus they would have a higher chance of success compared to one lone allosaurus because they have both speed and numbers in their favor. 4.) Advanced Dino Battle System - Attack Speed and just Speed are thrown in the equation. This will decide the chanceof a successful dodge, how many hits off u can plant at a time and who gets the first bite. Then there's also the attack types: ram, tear, bite, thrash, grab, charge, swipe etc. Then there's also fight or flight. The creature at low health would run away. If it's the prey that flees then the predator will chase it and kill it. If the predator flees then the predator will come back once it regained enough health. If the dinos are fighting each other for dominance or mates then it shouldn't really end in fatalities too often but if let's say a healthy adult bull trike is losing to an elderly not so healthy bull trike then the healthy losing trike won't back down becauseof it's confidence and that will likely end in a fatality. That should make things more interesting. 5.) Population/Desperation Aggressiveness - For example and indoraptor is living with multiple diplodocus. If there are too many Diplodocus an Indoraptor will try to kill some first to see if it could fix the problem but if that fails like for example the Indoraptor gets to low health and flees then it will try to escape but if there aren't too many sauropods it will just leave them alone. Another thing should be hunger. If the Indoraptor stays in an enclosure with a diplodocus for days without food it will try to kill a diplodocus and feast on it. Another situation: A stygimoloch breaks out in a one star park or let's say there aren't too many people in the area it's in. The Stygimoloch will mostly ignore the humans and not cause much trouble. Then the Stygimoloch is in a quite populated area.The Stygi will start ramming the people getting them out of it's way but not killing them. Then the Stygi is in a densely populated area, the stygi will try to kill every human it sees with it's sharp bony spikes until it gets more satisfied. That's a ranger emergency.

[@michealshelton2133]

Thanks for posting your tutorials. I just started playing and love love love this game! Believe it or not I never noticed the terrain feature so imagine playing through the game using only the existing landscape you are given by the game. It was tricky. I thought I was supposed to close my Park and demolish an exhibit in order to make a new one. It was nuts. I had to build my entire parks around the enclosures based on where the water was....

[@cwdude974]

Oooo this will come in handy!!! Thank you!!!

[@DanielNewm]

So helpful! My exhibits were so big, I had trouble fitting more than about 4 exhibits in my first park!

[@mamushi72sai]

I love this. Thank you so much. Subbed simply because this vid was great. Love you!

[@robcrouch3485]

Thanks for this. It will make fitting them all in a lot easier. I had the idea the radius would affect social so I literally made one huge enclosure the whole park size and put every Dino in it. I figured if they got overcrowded they move away from others and it decreases. Doesn’t seem to work. However social does seem to be affected as I have some which are lonely and overcrowded

[@timberwolfe8526]

This is super helpful and easy to understand - thank you, BIS!

[@FlyingFocs]

Another tip: when starting Isla Muerta, you first get access to Dilophosaurus and Velociraptor. Go for Dilo. They don't have the star power or as high a rating, but they have a high comfort threshold (essential when ot storms) compared to raptors, and they have larger groups, so you can offset them. But replace the fence with electric so they'll be less likely to break out if they DO get that stressed.

[@tigerluverchannel]

Thank you for this video! I was having such a hard time finding out why my sauropods hated every exhibit I put them in. Turns out I was making them way too big. Always love your content :D

[@glenndometrium]

Just got the game for my wife and I. Your video was definitely helpful! Thank you.

[@foxskillzgaming9458]

Best video on the game i've seen so far. Thank you so much! Really helpfull, keep it up mate

[@justafish5567]

This is incredibly helpful BIS! It’ll make getting five star much easier to fit more attractive dinos! You rock Sir! 🤙🏻

[@austin8167]

That was extremely helpful. Thank you so much. It's way easier to see it then to just read about it have someone talk about.

[@fightorflightgamer4420]

I did a little bit of research & I found if you want to get the grass & forest numbers up to 100 (& thats not really necessary) you have to make the enclosures bigger. In the small ones you can't put enough forest to make them happy, but if you enlarge the pen the number goes up.

[@Nightwolf--og3du]

Geez I figured out in the game you need like 5 mausisaurs and parasauralophus if you want them to be comfortable and have social skills. I just put them in the same enclosure and moved the tricertoped dinosaurs to a separate enclosure.

[@barrymacdonald3439]

Dominic Spence yeah I had to do that with my Anky it's completely stupid the bigger the enclosure the higher the pop should go I say .

[@iJuStIn23]

Yo the mausis and paras are the worst combo in this game, one enclosure has like 15-20 Dino’s constantly getting sick 😒

[@kenpachi21192]

only need four paras

[@s_nova5054]

Thanks BestInSlot I was actually hoping you did a vid like this, no joke.😄

[@thecaryou]

Super helpful, this was needed helps in the design phase to have these rough numbers.

[@ldemenhiser2470]

All the tutorials you have done have been so helpful

[@HarborxSharkGaming]

Thank you for this. This is very useful. I've been making my enclosures way too big. Im gonna try it out . Thanks again. 👍👍

[@reynaldotaleon3711]

its just so stupid to see small dinos break out of concrete walls like a huge WTF on that frontier and why is everything killing everything I mean , it would make sense for the hybrids to do so but leave the rest to hunt only when hungry or angry, and one more thing size ,giga needs a huge size buff as well as spino but not too much just so we can classify them as *large carnivores* and last thing social and sleeping animations extremely needed . (MORE animations and better AI also)

[@mememan2.074]

if it the small carnivore can't break concrete the game will be too easy

[@IDKWHATAHANDLEIS2]

Small carnivores should climb fences not break them

[@mememan2.074]

what if it electrified ?

[@IDKWHATAHANDLEIS2]

Mada Playz if the fence is electric it would shock the small carnivore and they would fall off

[@mememan2.074]

good idea. TELL FRONTIER QUICK WHY ARE YOU STANDIN THERE TELL FRONTIER QUICK

[@clarencehernandez8976]

Good Job. You saved me alot of time playing around with the Helos.

[@rootbeersaint4411]

thanks BIS this was very helpful when i was trying to reach 5 stars on isla tacano.keep up the great work

[@justagirl12345]

Hell yea this helped me! Thanks for figuring this out!

[@iJuStIn23]

This actually helped a lot. I was wondering about this topic. Maybe you can make a video on how to landscape more efficiently because I’ve been having a hard time with it since release.

[@TheBdougs]

I was looking for something along these lines. Specifically for something on those damn Sauropods. This has helped at least put things in perspective.

[@alexrance3701]

Dang that spreadsheet is so useful. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

[@osiris292]

Good to know, I have been making my paddocks too large it seems but I like to mix up my dinosaurs where possible.

[@sgtBelson]

On my first play through (the base game was $10, couldn’t pass it up), and this video is just what I needed - yep, building too big. It will surely help on Isla Pena, which I just unlocked. Well, maybe after I check out more of your vids, see what else you’ve got.

[@TheFearGrizzly]

I'll be straight up that entire green area I would've made into two or three cages so this was pretty nice to know

[@hadvarr8578]

I definitely enjoyed the video I would love to see a video on how to stop velociraptor , deinonychus etc from breaking out from enclosures

[@elmsigreen]

For someone like me who just wants to cram as many dinosaurs in their park as possible, this was very useful information.

[@zpython_1611]

I subbed coz of this video I wanted to know how to size an exhibit for so long ty m8

[@JesusandAssyria]

Extremely useful video thank you for keeping it brief

[@DasPenguin85]

Great guide - thanks for uploading it, dude!

[@anubisblueNK]

A great video full of tips. I can make more exhibits and more dinos. Thank you

[@nigricollis]

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I always built big cages for the dinosaurs and had big problems with dinosaurs breaking out all time 😂 Now I know why 👍

[@devinebolt]

BIS, Very helpfull mate! love the JW:E content and learned a lot, almost through my campaign now and going for a full on All-Dino-Park on Sorna, including the DLC's released up to now... If I'll remember I'll be sure to send u a tour-vid once it's done ^.^ Keep it up!

[@chris.3711]

Thats actually pretty useful, especially with Tecano and the smaller islands or for cramming multiple species on 1 island.

[@typicaltroodon7182]

This is useful. In my playthrough I always made two or three huge exhibits and the dinosaurs would lose comfort once they came to the fence. This will help to create a better designed park

[@robertcogley]

This is extremely helpful.. thank you for making this video!

[@justgamesaaron7968]

Bestinslots your my favorit youtuber bro your good at your channel

[@paleosaurlithgraphica2989]

Totally helps me out! thanks for the advice dude.

[@adamspices2918]

Very helpful, thank you so much! And to think, all the space I've wasted on some of these dinos because I was too scared to test anything smaller than a GIANT exhibit on everything 😭😭😭

[@SixFootScream]

Very helpful. I am busy with Isla Sorna and I am hitting max in terms of build space. I got a huge ass zone for herbivores, but a lot of dinos got population cap and keep breaking out.

[@rdmussetfarge8901]

I love watching your videos.

[@sleeperstingray1498]

Not pointless at all. Especially on Isle Pena, this would have been great to know. I appreciate the video and the great examples.

[@NeonCat400]

This will be incredibly helpful for isla Pena.

[@SaraAson]

Really helpful and so well explained thanks a lot BIS!

[@jurassiccoder4098]

Every video you out are useful

[@bmsvg7356]

I love your JWD vids and I hope you keep playing

[@spencermckay8222]

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

[@AbiliTV]

Very helpful. My starter park is steady at over 500 million. And, fedinging areas that cover vast areas thinking that would feel more natural. I end up crowded. So thanks.

[@harleykostuk5889]

I'm.late to starting this game but I love it and this video did help was not a waste of you're time thank you for the effort

[@alexgarcia8365]

Starting to make my dream island this is very helpful trying to put all 51 Dino’s

[@megatron97tf28]

Great stuff. Thanks for the video and spreadsheet!

[@tyjackson7053]

This helped allot! Thank you so much❤️

[@WandersNowherre]

Thank you for this, it was a great help!

[@adz108]

I know this is 2 years old but this was actually helpful i found that im making very large enclosures for my dinosaurs however i dont really understand which dinosaur requires which

[@hollyspirit12]

This helped me soooo much! Thank you!!!

[@rebelcommander7starwarsjur922]

Yes this is helpful and please make a video on how to unlock everything

[@samlansdowne3875]

Definitely useful, especially as I’m moving on to Isla Pena today... wish me luck

[@xenodragon77]

I actually made a giant exhibit full of different herbivores that aren't very picky with their requirements, that and I managed to house 2 baryonyx, a pack of raptors and a brachiosaurus all in one enclosure AND kept them comfortable, just in case you didnt know irex will get along with small carnivores

[@sastrei]

I hadn't thought about going so tiny with the exhibits. Makes me think of a big pie shaped ring of single or double animal pens. And a tiny pen stuffed with ornithomimids. How about a video with feeder best practices? How many of each, where to place, how to make sure jeeps can get to feeders in heavily forested areas, etc.

[@adamwilson6241]

This did help me. Thank you

[@RageAgainstTheDice]

Great video dude this will b helpful for people.

[@johnpatz8395]

I can't edit for some reason, but I do have a question raised by this info and that is, do viewing platforms and such extend beyond fencing? So for example if I put three smallish exhibits side by side, with a viewing playform in the middle one so its arc covers all three would that work, or would each exhibit need its own viewing gallery?

[@anakinmaksylewicz7907]

This was really helpful! Thanks :)

[@Chicktopuss-zh8jr]

extremely helpful especially the it with the sauropods

[@Velosee]

This is a nice guide!

[@ThomasTiernan]

Truly awesome. Many thanks.

[@michaelmoose6478]

thank you, I did actually help. I am new to the game

[@jessicamackay1998]

That is actually really helpful. Thanks.

[@bradfraser1647]

gotta say this video was extremely helpful

[@macadamia668]

I've made an enclosure larger than any of those you've said. Made an enclosure for mostly saurapods (4 diplodocus, 3 Brachios, 4 camaras, 5 Chunginko). The trick is to make your enclosure round without any corners. The only limit is that some dinosaurs have limited population amount so it's hard bottling all the dinos in one interactive enclosure

[@mattbrassfield2291]

i really appreciate this video even though i am a couple of years late on watching it.... I pick the game back up game back up after i finally gotten all the DLCs on the last Summer Sale. I wish there was a measure tool for this game. I autistic brain works better with numbers.. but thx for the visualization's... Also a mental note on the First Dino you Show-Cased 20 herbs for 1 feeder is a dozy... Technically there is no required surface area to make them happy.... just percentages of Grass Wet Forest as long you are to balance the areas... You can Simplify and make Tiny Enclosures. Requires allot of forethought and planning.. in the Future I hope they allow blue Prints in the game for the Paddocks to be built. Not Downloadable ones or Ones the Devs have made but allowing us to Save a Build on file we can use in future playthroughs. On that Second Example of the Saros umm you could of done much smaller exhibit bc of the need for water... Pretty much almost the same as the First one... Bc you made the lake huge there is less room for Grassland and forest. probably could of gotten away with a 6 fence x 6 fence area around that area... Most Dino if they don't Require to have a social friend its much easier to keep it Tight. Yes its cool to see a pairing. 3rd example is Kinda on point but again that water stat is too much... did you try placing your trees manually or where u just using the Tool ?

[@johnmonroe8635]

Thank you for demonstrating this.

[@TycoonTitian01]

Don’t know if you know, but I have a glitch where the audio for the shelters is always on open sounds. Alarm 🚨 and “locate nearest shelter for your safety. 24/7 even when no shelters are open can you help?

[@JKSJacoob]

Thank you so much! Now my dinosaurs will stop breaking out

[@SirCanuckelhead]

good vid shines a light on potential. Dinos should seek out areas they prefer in large exhibits. It would also create more life in your park as it would show off variety and diversity. Would also be really cool to see how the meat eats would have hunting routes or something.

[@whitterzz2145]

This helped a lot! 👍🏻

[@landond839]

Thanks man this was a great video

[@ryanrule8583]

it was helpful, do you have one that shows which dinos are best to put together?

[@iluvMM6]

It was so helpful, thank you!

[@mylessanchez1982]

super helpful i was super confused before honestly was just annoying to not be able to see it right there by clicking on the gate or something could be done

[@bodine219]

Thanks!!! So HELPFUL 😍. I've been making GIANT long neck pens XD.

[@chrisknight6996]

Very good information! Thanks!

[@gfletcher6183]

Thats what I needed =D been making ott enclosures

[@jrhamy7559]

appreciate the guide! Just started playing and you would think that the pop count would scale to the size of the enclosure... hah - I have these massive areas with just a handful of dino's in them - the dino's are happy but i cant get enough services down in the space for the guests. Who knew the enclosures could be so small! Thanks!

[@hellhound7572]

This was extremely helpful thanks, by any chance do you know if you can make your dinosaurs hungry more often?
